Stationary Window Guards

Stationary guards are affixed around the outside of window opening with standard 2 ½” standoff brackets (standoff brackets can be made longer or shorter for special applications) and generally have four anchor points (one in each corner). Stationary guards wider than 84” or taller than 60” will receive an extra anchor point in the center.

Operable Window Guards

Operable guards can have two types of fire releases:

Pushbutton release: Guards with a pushbutton release must mount on the outside of the window and must have a 2 ½” standoff. There will be a ½” hole drilled through the wall next to the window on the operable side of the guard. The button will be mounted inside the home next to the window. The thickest wall we will drill through is 24”. All operable guards wider than 72” will need to be hinged in the center and will open on one side only, with an extra anchor point top and bottom by the hinge to support the weight and functionality of the guard. This can cause problems when mounting castings or laser designs in the guard that need to be evenly spaced.

Lock Box Release: Lock box release guards have a double cylinder deadbolt and require a key from either side to open them. Guards with a lock box release generally mount on the outside of the window with a 2 ½” standoff Guards can be placed inside the opening on the outside of the home to create a flush mount look (this is not standard practice, cannot be done on all window openings, and will be an extra charge). All operable guards wider than 72” will need to be hinged in the center, and open on one side only, with an extra anchor point top and bottom by the hinge to support the weight and functionality of the guard. This can cause problems when mounting castings or laser designs in the guard that need to be evenly spaced.
